Sort of. In Asia, as I understand it, there’s a shared understanding (right or wrong) of who are the “upper” and “lower” parts of the hierarchy. The American version has each individual Republican placing themselves in the “top group” of their little hierarchy in whatever interaction – so e.g. I can treat my kids however I want to treat them, but if the cops come and look into it, it’s an affront to my freedoms and I’m down trodden and abused. Congress impeaching Trump is a grave injustice the likes of which has never been seen before, congress impeaching Biden is absolutely just and natural and anyone who says anything bad about it is a traitor. Etc.

Edit: Related story: An American military guy who was trying to conduct training in a particular non-Western culture wrote an extremely frustrated article in some military journal about his experience. Basically, what he was trying to say while trying super hard not to be racist about it, was that he’d noticed that if a student in his classes ever gave a wrong answer and he corrected them about it publicly, that person would be his enemy from that point going forward. Like it was some kind of mortal insult for him to suggest to the class that they didn’t have the answers to everything already. To him with an American background this was a normal part of teaching, but in this culture it was some grave insult. He basically said, I’ve tried a bunch of different ways and I think I’m running up against just a fundamental aspect of this culture that makes it tough for adult people to ever learn anything. To me that’s similar to the Ron Johnson behavior: A culture of “the people on top are in charge of everything” coupled with “I’m the people on top, I’m at the peak of my own little hierarchy and don’t have to listen to anyone and can do what I want” in an extremely toxic way.
